Volvo people know the significance of owing a 1973 car. This was
the was the final year of the P1800 line, and production only ran
for about half the year. That makes this a rare treat even before
you dive into the details. The shooting brake design of the ES
model is instantly distinctive. The rare coupe/wagon idea means
sharing a profile with everything from classic custom Aston Martins
to the modern Ferrari FF. And this one does deserve to stand with
the exotics with its intricate sheetmetal and Italian-inspired
front end. But this European also has a flair all its own. After
all, elements like the huge rear glass was the beginning of a Volvo
hallmark. It's all wrapped in its factory-correct Green-Blue Poly
that is a true standout, especially with the wheels painted to
match.
And speaking of standouts, the caramel tan interior looks terrific
against the exterior color. The color feels just as elegant as
aggressive thanks to their fresh materials. When you slip behind
the three-spoke steering wheel, you instantly understand why there
are people who are fanatical about their Volvos. It mixes safe and
sturdy construction with European elegance and performance. You see
it in the complete set of Smiths gauges and feel it in the crisp
action of the gearstick. But more than just a great driver, you
have practical features that range from an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo
to the generous cargo capacity built into the design of the ES.
Under the hood is the original 2.0-liter motor. It has a fantastic
presentation with its red block and bright head cover that you can
instantly tell this has been treated well since day one. Another
great reason to have a 1973 car is because this is the most
powerful version of the motor, and it even includes Bosch fuel
injection. This is mated to a four-speed manual transmission with
overdrive for easy cruising. In fact, the P1800 is a great grand
touring machine. The engine is not built for all-out speed, and so
the suspension is tuned to ride better than most vintage sports
cars you know. Add in four-wheel disc brakes, and this P1800 ES is
the comfortable classic you'll want to drive everywhere.
Unique, rare, and quite striking - this P1800 ES is cool classic
that doesn't come around very often. So don't let this turnkey
example slip away. Call today!!!
